essexgirl73 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi, just wondering whereabouts you are as would love some advice on Eastern Suburbs, schools etc. Hi, We are in Mount Helena, near Mundaring in the Perth Hills? Are you living in Perth at the moment? Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingPongPom Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi Sharon, no we are looking to come out again around August time. My husband loves Mt Helena and thinks we can be happier there than where we were before. Is it expensive for rentals and do you have any experience of the schools in that area, as that is my main concern. We were in Secret Harbour for 3 years and it wasn't for us.

essexgirl73 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Kerry, How old are your children? Mine are 5 and nearly 4. They are in Pre Primary and Kindy this year. They go to Mount Helena school. We are very happy with the School and the Teachers, so far. Lots of the Mums and Dads I know also went to school there when they were younger, so that must mean something!! If you are looking for private schools, there is Mundaring Christian School and college, which is 8 minutes drive away, and also Helena College, which is 15 mins away. Both very good so I have heard, there are others too but I ! do not know what they are like? We lived in the Northern suburbs for a couple of years, didn't know our neighbours, everyone was English, it was a bit too like Little Britain for us. We ended up moving to Mount Helena because of my Husbands work, I must admit I was not keen at first, as I love the beach, but we have a much nicer life here in the Hills, we know ALL our neighbours and have regular street parties at Christmas and New Year etc, which is great! There are loads of family orientated things to do and we find the people are a lot friendlier here. Its more of a community, the kids play in the street, everyone sais hello and when a crisis happens, like the recent bush fires, everyone rallies around to help out, its lovely. It is a bit clicky sometimes, as some Mums have lived here all their life, but hey you are always going to get that wherever you go I reckon. Why did you not like where you were before, if you don't mind me asking? Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingPongPom Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sounds just like what we are looking for. For us, there just wasn't a community feel to Secret Harbour. We made friends of course but we could go weeks and not see anyone from our street. I think as we've always lived in a village, we missed the closeness of it, where you get to know most people in your area. The kids weren't going to the local school so we drove everywhere and they didn't get to play out with their friends as they weren't near us. Just a few things really. My eldest is 12, do you know which school they go to after Mt Helena primary? Not private. My other two are 6 and 8. What's the commute like into The city from there? Sorry, a thousand questions!

Hi, I'd like to know this too, High School reputation and commute. How long drive to the beach? Been on the property sites all evening trying to read between the lines. Some first hand insight would be fab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
